Most good AC clamp meters have an accuracy of around 1%. Most good AC/DC clamp meters have an accuracy of around 2%. If you can live with an accuracy of 3% this is the cheapest one I know of that does DC amps.

I read somewhere that with meters in this lower price range
that the accuracy is poorest in the 1 to 5 amp range.

Is that correct or is it a weakness across the whole operating range?
